Carey reveals her demands for her man

London, March 20 (IANS) Pop singer Mariah Carey has made her list of demands for her man and says that she would prefer to be associated with a celebrity only. In an interview Carey said the most important thing for the man is to “understand” her. She said she wants “someone who I would know is going to take care of me emotionally, they’re going to understand who I am,” thesun.co.uk reports.

She also pointed out that since she is a celebrity she would want someone who is famous, adding: “That’s a big deal for me - feeling like somebody else can’t fully understand me because they’re not in showbiz. It shouldn’t matter, but it does, because the energy it takes to be ‘on’ is a lot.”

Speaking of the third requirement, she added: “I’ve always had really low self-esteem, and I still do. What’s weird about that is being onstage, and the love that you get, and the adoration that you feel from your real fans. It’s hard for a partner to compete - just imagine.”

In conclusion she said: “I’m Mary Poppins: I’m what the buttoned-up girls are supposed to be.”
